AN exchange, in commenting upon the
right of municipal suffrage which has been
given to the women Of Kansas, says it is a
progressive movement, and the cause Of equal
suffrage takes no step backward. How about
Washington Territory? The recent decision
of the Supreme Court, declaring unconstitu-
tional the law permitting women to vote, can
hardly be called step forward, even by the
ever hopeful Miss Anthony.

GREEN SMITHS little tomtit, Senator Bal
ley, delivered himself, on Saturday, of his
views as to how the testimony given before
the Senate investigating (?O committee of the
benevolent institutions should be printed
The tomtit did not propose that it should be
printed with such ''headlines" as had dec
Grated the evidence taken by the House COM
mittee, and if it were so published the COM
mittee would exclude the Journal reporter
from its sessions. It may occur to the tomtit,
and to the entire committee, for that matter,
that the indianapolis Journal is not printed
after anybody's specifications except its own.
1t is printed to suit itself. Nobody has to
take it; nobody has to read it; nobody has to
be satisfied with either its manner of publish
ing the news or its editorial comments. The
Journal is printed in its own way, and is for
sale each day at five cents a copy. The TOM
tit can get it at that price, just the same as
anybody else. We shall print the testimony
taken before the Senate committee in man
ner that suits u.s. We shall print it as mat
ter of news, telling only the truth about it,
and giving it such Headlines" as we please.
If that doesn't suit the tomtit, he and the
committee can s'exclude" the Journal when.
ever they see fit. The journal, however will
continue to be printed each day, and will ha re

THE management of the Hospital for the
Insane has been every bit as bad as that of
the Jeffersonville prison. The only difference
is that in the former there has been, so far as
known, no pecuniary defalcation, though there
have been populations and small corruption.
But in every essential respect the asylum
management has been as bad as the prison.

''It has been understood all along that the
coming American novelist would portray the
romantic side of our great civil war.
From time to time critics, essayists and
other piddlers In literature have called attention
to this inviting theme. But it was agreed that
there were difficulties in the way. 1t would not
do to serve up our fratricdal struggle as liter
airy tid-bit until its rough edges had been worn
off by time. 1t was generally admitted that our
coming novelist would find his pie somewhere in
this direction, but just here litterateurs came
to full stop. They suggested. predicted, and
did everything but tackle the subject in earnest
"And now a nimble little Frenchman edges
his way through the crowd and captures the
prize. This bold raider is Jules Verne, and it
goes without saying that he has helped himself
to everything in sight. The title of his forth
coming story, North and South; A Romance OF
the Civil War in America, is a sufficient in
timation that he is dealing with a big thing in a
big way.
st is pity that Johnny Crapeaud should have
stolen march on US, but We deserved 1t. For
nearly generation our coming novelists. Tor
there were two of them, Northerner and a
Southerner have been glowering at each other
and Dragging about the great unwritten war
novel.
1T is useless to damn Jules Verne's story in
advance. He has shown his ability to interest
the million, and the verdict of the literary upper
ten will not count After all, what an author
wants is to be read by the million. The patron
age of the upper-ten would not support him. The
Frenchman will give us virile vivid and
graphic story. He may be little behind on
facts but man with his imagination get
along without facts. Perhaps our dilatory,
mandy PANTY novelists needed just such a les
son. At any rate, they have lost their pie, and
when we taste it We shall be made to feel that it
is an imported luxury"
The Indianapolis Journal has secured the copy
right of this romance for Indiana, and it will
| appear exclusively in the pages Of the Sunday
Journal so far this territory is concerned. OF
| course, it will be a romance of rare power and
interest-one of the greatest literary events OF
| the time. Its publication will be begun in April
| or May, the exact date not being yet agreed up
on. It will run for nearly six month.
